Well, I start there tomorrow - I am officially remployed! Working in Newport (at considerably less pay than my previous job :( but a lot more than I've made the past few months :D )

So, big thanks from me and my family to all those that provided leads, well wishes, and Ts&Ps - Thanks :btu:

Would have tried to catch the EBA Show tonight but events ran late.... How was the show?

And most important (in my view) your LIFESTYLE will be far better without hauling your butt to the city...more time to spend with family and boat.
Good luck! and Congrats!

Congrats John.

Few hours shorter commute per day and some great fishing in the area might make up for a little less salary! I think there are about 800 spots along the newport coast so you shouldn't get board.

John, that's really good to hear. Considering the $$ spent on commuting and the stress and time, that's gotta equal things out a bit.

I know that's a big weight off the shoulders.

Worry about a salary increase on the second day.

Congrats.

I'm just glad that means you'll have your boat ready by next season :eek:

Boat fish are way more fun than surf fish.

Congradulations John. I know how you feel. I lost my job in
1988 after being there 18 years. I didn't find something until
1994. Lost that one in 1996, and Luckly found another a couple
months later. Thank God I had enough time in to retire. I'm a
retired Teamster now, been that way for a couple years.
